This essential handbook on in vitro fertilization provides an overview of gamete biology combined with a practical account and full description of the advanced technologies and protocols used in the modern fertility laboratory. The first section of the book describes how gametes are produced, their interaction and the first stages of embryo development. This foundation in gamete biology is essential background for the clinical embryologist wishing to implement a successful IVF programme. The laboratory protocols described in the second half of the book are clearly illustrated and cover the full range of techniques applied in IVF: semen analysis and preparation, oocyte retrieval and embryo culture, embryo freezing and thawing, and ICSI. This is an indispensable and practical guide for clinical embryologists and indeed all clinical and laboratory staff involved in IVF.

In Vitro Fertilization

Elder, Kay

Basic Sciences

Fertilization describes the form and function of sperm and oocytes, from how gametes are made to the mechanisms involved in their interaction and how the blueprint of the early embryo unfolds. The initial chapters cover basic biological processes, including the cell cycle, ionic regulation, metabolism, polarization, and intracellular signalling, all of which are central to understanding gamete behavior. The main section deciphers the spatial and temporal complexity of fertilization using examples from across the animal kingdom. The final section describes alternative ways of reproduction and how knowledge from gamete biology is used in reproductive technologies. Enhanced throughout with high-quality illustrations and comprehensive reference lists, this is essential reading for students of biology, veterinary science and medicine; embryologists; and reproductive medicine and ART practitioners.

Fertilization: From Gametes to Early Embryos

This fully updated new edition of a successful and popular practical guide is an indispensable account of modern in-vitro fertilization practice. Initial chapters cover theoretical aspects of gametogenesis and embryo development at the cellular and molecular level, while the latter half of the book describes the requisites for a successful IVF laboratory and the basic technologies in ART. Advanced techniques, including pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, vitrification and stem-cell technology, are comprehensively covered, providing up-to-date analyses of these groundbreaking technologies. This edition includes: • New practical techniques, including preservation of fertility for cancer patients, stem-cell biology/technology, vitrification and in-vitro maturation • A 'refresher' study review of fundamental principles of cell and molecular biology • The latest information available from animal and human research in reproductive biology Packed with a wealth of practical and scientific detail, this is a must for all IVF practitioners.

Updated and expanded by nearly fifty percent, this comprehensive new edition builds on its successful and popular predecessor, while retaining the practical features that made the first edition such an essential guide to IVF. The new edition describes the most recent additions to the range of current assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinical treatments, including the use of testicular and epididymal sperm, blastocyst stage transfer, and new perspectives in cryobiology and cryopreservation techniques. The authors have incorporated the very latest laboratory techniques and protocols, with an even greater emphasis on quality control to provide an indispensable and practical account of the latest IVF techniques. The introductory chapters covering the scientific background that underpins effective laboratory practice have been substantially expanded to include the most recent information available from research in mammalian systems into the molecular biology of oogenesis, oocyte maturation, and early embryo metabolism. This new edition distills a wealth of practical and scientific detail for the benefit of all IVF practitioners.

If you are interested in understanding who you are, Archetypes-unmasking your true self is the book for you. If you are looking for a way for self-empowerment, this is the book for you. If you desire to change an aspect of yourself or your situation, this is the book for you. If you are interested in self-discovery, empowerment or changing your circumstances, this is the book for you. Archetypes-unmasking your true self is the essential reference book on archetypes. The book deals with 98 individual archetypes. We all have archetypes. Archetypes are a blueprint. They are a personal representation of human characteristics. They determine our personality traits. So! Who are you? Are you a King, a Queen, a Knight, a Rescuer, a Mother, a Servant, a Healer, a Priestess, a Goddess a Coward or a Hero? These are archetypes. Everything you think, say and do is determined by your archetypes. Once you know your archetypes, you gain a deep understanding of who you truly are. All archetypes have negative and positive energies or personality traits. When you understand these energies and identify the personality traits associated with your personal archetypes, you are on the pathway to self-empowerment. Archetypes-unmasking your true self also gives you a plan. The book shows you how to initiate change. If there are aspects of yourself or your circumstances you would like to change, then there is a plan to show you how to navigate change. Identifying our archetypes gives us knowledge, understanding, guidance, purpose and power. Have you have ever wondered who you are? Have you considered how to stand in your power? Have you yearned for change? Archetypes-unmasking your true self answers those vital questions.

The Knight: The Archetype of Quest (Archetypes of Passion)

This extensively updated new edition provides an indispensable account of modern in-vitro fertilization practice, building upon the popularity of previous editions. The authors initially give a comprehensive review of the biology of human gametes and embryos, before outlining basic to advanced IVF techniques. New developments in practical techniques and understanding are discussed, including in-vitro maturation, vitrification, preservation of fertility for cancer patients, stem cell technology, preimplantation genetic testing, and the role of epigenetics and imprinting. The revised introduction also incorporates a 'refresher' study review of fundamental principles of cell and molecular biology, now updated with current knowledge of meiosis in human oocytes, embryo metabolism and basic principles of genome editing. With high-quality illustrations and extensive, up-to-date reading lists, it is a must-have textbook for trainee and practising embryologists, as well as clinicians who are interested in the scientific principles that underpin successful IVF.
